Spiritual Leadership: A Guide to Focus, Awareness, and Mindfulness

by Thomas H. Ulrich

Overview

Spiritual leadership focuses on what you can experience and how you can work on your 'self.' Taking a non-religious stance, this book introduces readers to a dynamic layer model of the self, with inner centricity at its core. Leaders will learn how to work at different levels of their personality in order to achieve this inner centricity – the inner-core balance, the foundation of effective leadership in the VUCA world, and the foundation of personal authenticity and natural authority.

Spiritual leadership combines classic leadership theories and models of authentic leadership with philosophical concepts and consciousness and awareness techniques inspired by the contemplative mindfulness movement. Practical exercises and illustrative examples support the application of the concept in professional leadership and private everyday life.
